METHOD OF PREDICTING DEVELOPMENT OF POST-STROKE DEMENTIA

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neuropathology, and is intended for prediction of development of post-stroke dementia. For this purpose as risk factors from patient's medical history determined are age, ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus. Magnetic-resonance imaging of brain is performed. As risk factors determined are: presence of focal post-stroke changes in both brain hemispheres in fronto-parietal and temporo-occipital areas, focal post-stroke changes in region of thalamus, presence of subcortical foci of leukoareosis in white substance of frontal lobes, basal nuclei (pale globe). Gradations and numerical values of detected risk factors are determined, after which prognostic coefficients F₁ and F₂ are calculated and their values are compared. If F₂ is greater or equals F₁, development of post-stroke dementia is predicted.;EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase accuracy of prediction of post-stroke dementia development in patients with effects of acute cerebral blood circulation disorders and cognitive disorders.;2 ex
